Kristina Lopez commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"Although most of my very religious family does not believe in evolution, I do. I remember reading the book "Inherit the Wind" which was all about the issue of evolution. One line in the book said that believeing in God's creation and…"
JohnPaulus V Arcangel commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"I am a very scientific person. For petes sake I wear a lab coat to school religiously. But I am also a very religous person. I belive that science explains how, rather than why. And I am proevolution.
Say your walking along a beach of a completely…"

"i was looking at all of your pictures from the field trip and it looks cool in your perspective. I like the black and white. You captured a lot of things I never would have noticed."
Nick Fallico commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"I think its crazy that people won't believe in this and think its against God. God planted the seeds and darwin charted how the seeds grew and formed to what they are now. Even if you don't believe what he says, he is right. He didn't…"
Patrick Witt commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"I think Darwin was simply stating that different species and animals stem from other species and animals. I don't think he was trying to take a shot at religion in any way. I wouldn't know for sure because I think some of the ways we are…"
Alex Costigan commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"Darwin was a genious, and his observations were essential in knowing what we do today about life, man, and the earth. I believe in evolution and God at the same time. Over time, even the Catholic church has accepted forms of…"
Ben Perkins commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"when reading inherit the wind, the author made all the christians in the book seem selfish and non open-minded, kind of how many history books portray people of different religions. Science never really seems to be struck down as much anymore.…"
Lauren Olson commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"I heard that Darwin was actually a Christian and his wife was a devout Catholic, so he was hesitant to publish his work becuase he believed people would misunderstand it. I think the public interpenetration of his theory is total crap. Every year…"

Davy Mellado posted a blog postWhat is creation?
Blossoming from Charles Darwin and his theory of Evolution, the meaning and significance of existence has always been a question that leads to more questions. How does one respond when asked, "what do you live for?" There's a thousand different ways you can handle that. But what is a misconception with Darwin's work is that he discovered that a seed can transform, but it cannot produce itself. When his paper entitled, "The Origin of Species" came out, people said he killed God. But quite the…See More
Davy Mellado commented on Ashlyn Jensen's blog post Youtube: Phenomenon or Something to be Criticized?"Youtube is an expression of yourself. If your a dick, welp, that sucks because now everyone knows it. So really, what we all need to realize is that the truth is good, even when it's ugly. It sets us free an get us to realize, were all not just…"
Davy Mellado commented on Keely Ward's blog post Does school ruin reading?"It depends, like a lot of things. Reading is just an activity that some people like and others don't. And carrying books around with you isn't so cool, so peeps that do that are not considered cool. Thats why i think it's not fun.…"
Davy Mellado commented on Robin de Freitas's blog post Tipping for services"Heck, that goes into your description of your job. If your just a nice boy parking cars, they wont give you much. Now if your a employed worker, and have the weight of the restaurant on your shoulders, they should chunk out some more cash.…"

a twenty-four hour life
Sometimes, life throws a wrench into your engine, just to see what happens. And it comes out in sickness, breakup, confusion, and in death. Too many times folk just don't seem to give a consistent effort into making their life worth it. They give what is expected of them, what they believe they have to do, not what they are capable of.
This last Tuesday, I woke up to a unsettled stomach and thought nothing of it really. Trying avoid breakfast, I rolled…

Solitary Confinement is More than Just a "time-out" for Grown-Ups
Today, over 80,000 Americans are in solitary confinement for reasons spread across from attacking officers to extreme serial killing. These people are put in rooms no bigger than a handicapped stall in a bathroom. A bed, a toilet, and a sliding slot on the door is what these inmate's lives mostly revolve around. They get three meals a day through their slot, three timed showers a week, and a hour of "exercise" time a day.…

Dirty Jobs? Try Photojournalist
If the word "Photojournalist" is spoken, not too many people can easily connect to such a profession. While a profession like a "rapper" or a "designer" is a bit more common and known, a job like "photojournalism" is not highlighted so much. This is mainly because of the gruesome and sometimes dreadful images that one produces. Take American war and injustice photographer, James Nachwey. He was born in Massachusetts, and while seeing… Continue

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
